• They are in Eastern Yamato
• They are in Uda Matsuyama

Head north from Uda Lumber Camp to reach the Castle’s main entrance. Then, continue further north to find the Daimyo Residence, where you will discover the Akiyama Agent.

How To Defeat the Akiyama Agent?

The Akiyama Agent is capable of striking some heavy blows. Below are the details for helping you eliminate him:

• Head-on combat: Sneak into the bushes near the main door. Then, move through the corridor and exit on the other side. Search the room to the north, where you will find the Akiyama Agent. He will be equipped with a sword, so look at his hands to dodge the unbreakable attacks and counter with Naoe’s Kusarigama. Repeat this process, and eventually, you will be able to eliminate him.

• Air-Assassination: With Naoe’s skills, sneak onto the residence’s roof and move towards the boundary wall. Wait for the Akiyama Agent to come out of the room. Once he approaches the boundary wall, air-assassinate him with the help of Naoe’s hidden blade.

Head-on combat can be exciting, but if you want to eliminate the Agent quickly, use the air-assassination. Once you defeat the Akiyama Agent, you will get the following rewards:

• 2,000 XP
• 2 Mastery Points
• Repeating Fate – Legendary Teppo
• 335 Mon
